rossben92 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi All I'm currently on a sponsored 457 visa and have been since i arrived in Australia 2 years ago. I've never held a working holiday visa but very keen to travel Australia before returning back to the U.K. I have two questions, 1. Is this possible, and if so would I need to leave the country and re apply? 2. Currently if I leave my super will only be taxed at 30ish% and I know a working holiday gets taxed at over double! Would I need to withdraw super when I leave the country and apply for 417 or would it be noted when i changed visa? I do qualify for 417 as I'm 26 and from UK Thanks!

VERYSTORMY Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 1 yes, a 417 can only be applied for offshore 2 not sure, but hopefully someone such as Alan Collet will pop along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 To claim DASP, your visa needs to be cancelled or expired. You need to have left Australia. You cannot have an Active visa. So until its processed and paid to you, I wouldn't apply for the WHV as if it was granted within a few days, your DASP wouldn't meet the requirements and then you would have to -relodge and pay the 65% TAX.

Samson Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Maybe a 6 week trip to NZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
